Asian Games 2023, September 26 Highlights: India charted new territories at the Asian Games 2023 on Tuesday as the country’s medals tally increased to 14.
India won its third gold medal at the Asian Games 2023 from Equestrian – a sport where it never clinched the top spot in the last four decades. Earlier, Neha Thakur brought home silver in Girl’s Dinghy – ILCA 4 category and Eabad Ali won bronze in men’s windsurfing RS:X category. Though shooters showed promise, they fizzled out. However, in tennis, Sumit Nagal and Ankita Raina entered the quarter-finals in men’s and women’s singles categories respectively. (Asian Games 2023 Medals Tally)
